Learning to Drive.

.
The biggest problem about driving lessons is the Learning, not the driving.

To those who have never driven before this may seem odd, but for the majority that contact us who have had lessons elsewhere, they agree.

It is very easy for you to spend time driving without Learning. This is your time wasted. And therefore your money is wasted, often lots of it.

We have people tell us they have spent thousands of pounds on not learning, but just driving around going over the same things.

People that come to us realise that we will set the same high standards for them that they set for themselves.

If you are the kind of person who would rather negotiate ten hazards excellently rather than one hundred merely averagely, if you would rather spend a few hours learning to use the clutch correctly than spend a lifetime enduring jerky gear changes and if you can understand that making the occasional mistake is part of the learning process then you know that the Learning is more important the driving when on lessons.

Stopping

Many Learners have a reluctance to stop. This is not because of homicidal tendencies, but because it then means moving off again from stationary.

Moving off, to many, means a danger of stalling, with all the embarrassment and negative feelings that that may entail. These emotions of what may happen when stopping therefore prevent full concentration on the task. Few instructors are aware of this and therefore are unable to cure the sympton rather than the effect, leading to much wasting of time going over things that are already understood while ignoring what needs to be learned.

Moving off

Moving off  in a manual car involves use of the clutch. As instructors don’t have to know how the clutch works in order to pass their exams many give false information on the important subjects of moving off, gearchanging and ‘coasting’. This means that many Learners spend hours trying to perfect methods that are wrong. Although many of these alternative methods will enable a car to move off and get down the road, they feel wrong and cause problems, thus leading to a lack of confidence on the part of the Learner.
